Hospitalized patients under close supervision: Increase the dose in 10 mg increments (maximum single dose 30 mg) every 4 to 6 hours to control pain/arrhythmias.Extended-release tablets:Switching from immediate-release capsules:Switch at the nearest equivalent total daily dose (e.g., 30 mg orally...
